Sodium blood panel

[T swol]

Just pulled my yearly blood panel for my primary Dr. going over a couple elevated numbers. My creatinine 133 was elevated a bit out of range. I stopped taking my daily 5mg a month ago. It’s never been out of range.
Sodium was also high 146. I drink a gallon of water a day with my planned out 6 meals. I searched on here for high sodium blood panel but only see low sodium threads.
Any suggestions to get it back in range.
Last 10 panels stay 139-142.

Also my LDL has always stayed 140-145 and HDL at 40. Triglycerides stay below 100. This pull my LDL was 156.
I was on a low dose of Mast with my trt cyp since January. Lowered it just to trt 30 days before panel.

At the time of your labs, you were a bit dehydrated. Your calculated osmolality —Na (sodium), BUN and glucose=302.6 mOsm/kg. The normal range is: 285-295 mOsm/kg. Above 295 mOsm/kg is indicative of dehydration.

Water alone doesn't = proper hydration.

This explains your mild hypernatremia. Not a big deal.

Thanks for the feedback Stevie. I’m sure my Dr will try and push a statin for my LDL or a retest in 3 months.
